Hummingbirds

This is something I have never seen before, or ever even heard of. This lady lives in a hummingbird fly zone. As they migrated, about 20 of them were in her yard. Just for a lark, she took the little red dish and filled it with sugar water and this is the result.

I love hummingbirds! My parents have so many at their house over the summer, there's feeders filled with sugar water all over the yard! Unfortunately, they also attracts wasps The wasps will actually chase the birds away from the feeders!

I didn't notice the first time I looked at these pictures, but look at the hummingbird's wings in the last picture. It's like there not even there, but a shadow.

Wow, that is so cool. We have lots of hummingbirds in our area each year. Can't wait for next year. It's quite a job keeping the feeders clean and filled when they get close to migrating out of here, but they are so cute!!
